ΠΑΛΑΙΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΝΙΑΤΑ
Χωριό που βρισκόταν στο δρόμο Ακριών - Γερονθρών (Παυσ. 3,22,6).
On the road from Acriae to Geronthrae is a village called Palaea (Old), and in Geronthrae itself are a temple and grove of Ares. Every year they hold a festival in honor of the God, at which women are forbidden to enter the grove. Around the market-place are their springs of drinking-water. On the citadel is a temple of Apollo with the head of an ivory image. The rest of the image was destroyed by fire along with the former temple.
